Once again, the compilation brings a swath of the hottest new talent on the planet, each artist bringing their unique brand to the label. Whereas the previous installment had ten artists, Vol. 2 brings the total to 13. Since the previous release, the North American scene has grown tremendously, which this new release proudly presents to the world. While 13 of the 15 artists might be from NA, 2022 saw the label expand beyond the shores. Said expansion is represented well by artists from Italy and Netherlands. Los Angeles-based artists make a strong showing on the VA. 1morning kicks things off with the 90s-inspired ’Fuse’. Annika Wolfe returns to the label ahead of their future release with industrial-leaning ’Industry Plants’. Former master photographer Dilate comes in hot with the snappy ’Outsider’. COM favorite EAS returns with his typical driving and punchy ’Braindance’. VA mastering engineer and highly respected artist Secus adds the marching and hypnotic ’Shadow Realm’, while fellow LA legend Steven Disario makes his debut with the stripped-back ’Moving Heads’. Hardcore duo RS:VC return with their first original track, the melancholic and devastating ’What I Saw When I Looked In The Mirror’. Brand new artist and mentoree of Selective, Xiomar presents his very first release with club-focused ’Track 2’. And of course, label head Selective Response rounds off the local roster with the catchy ’Come Hell or High Water’. Moving east, New York’s Brälle comes in hot with their psychedelic hammer ’East Hastings’. Texas Voidware boss Declan James’ ’First Blood’ is an industrial roller. KNTXT artist Henry Brooks brings melodic elements to the release with ’Lost Premonitions’. Closing out the North American representation is new artist Jana Greenstone, whose broken beat ’Mine’ is a journey all on its own. And finally, we head across the pond to Italy with LPV’s EBM-inspired Sexual Tension. Closing out the release is Overclocked, a longtime favorite of Selective Response, who ends things with the pumping ’Open Your Eyes’. ___ DISCLAIMER: All tracks are uploaded in a low quality for promotional purposes only and with buy links to respect label and artists.
